One time the Perkins family rented a cabin at Big Springs. The cabin had a screened in porch where
Evelyn and one of her friends slept.
Lamar had hung up his fishing gear in the rafters. The girls woke up and though that there was a
man in the rafters. You can imagine the
fuss they made until Lamar came out and turned on the lights.
One morning while they were there, Edwin had slept in and the men went
fishing without him. He went out and
found some wild strawberries instead. He
must have picked a gallon of them.
Louise talked to the woman who ran the nearby store and was able to talk
her out of five pounds of sugar. Louise
didn’t have any ration stamps for sugar so she may have traded her some Avon
products to get the sugar. She always
had her Avon bag with her.
(1946 Evelyn, Lamar, and Louise Perkins)
